Greek/Egyptian ore processing and refining techniques (cupellation and cementation) were first described by Diodorus Siculus (after Agatharcides) and Strabo in the 1st century B.C. Experiments by Johnson, Matthey and Co., simulating these techniques, produced gold 93.5% fine. The addition of lead and tin, however, inhibited the reaction.

MINING AND PROCESSING: Iron ore mining can be broadly divided into two categories namely 1) manual mining which is employed in small mines and 2) mechanized mining is suitable for large iron ore mines. Manual mining method is normally limited to float ores and small mines. Mining of reef ore is also being done manually on a small scale.

Arrastras. An arrastra, also known as a Mexican Rastra, was a primitive method used by early miners to process gold and silver ores. It was introduced to the new world by the Spanish in the 1500's. They were used throughout the world, often at remote locations where other processing methods were not feasible.
